Introduction
We provide turnkey citrus NFC juice processing lines, covering the full process from fruit reception, extraction, pasteurization to aseptic packaging. NFC juice (Not From Concentrate) has become one of the fastest-growing categories in the beverage sector due to its fresh taste and natural nutrition.
Our lines are designed for industrial-scale production, with typical daily capacities ranging from 30T/day to 500T/day. With efficient juice extraction, clarification, and pasteurization, juice yield can reach 65–75% of fresh fruit weight, while preserving flavor and nutrients.
